Who is this "Nick Evans" you speak of?

I mean… who is Nick Evans.

Mighta been

He sure was no Jason Phillips, and not half as good as Vance Wilson.

I believe NIck Evans is

an old, old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era.

Someone must be seriously injured to make them add an orthopaedic surgeon to the major league roster.

I hope he starts in RF tonight

I’d take my chances on a jacked up surgeon over Failcouer.

I hope it IS that Nick Evans.

1. We would all be welcome to the gun show.
2. That guy makes ’roided McGuire look like Zooey Deschanel, and prob could clear the Citi Field fence.
3. Maybe there would be someone around who could figure out why Mets never seen to get better from injuries.

Didn't they sell their medical treatment rights to the highest bidder>

That may have something to do with it. What’s incomprehensible to me is why, this offseason at the latest, ownership didn’t simply fire the medical staff and start over. To keep this nonsense going on and on is yet one more mark of a hopelessly inept organization.

On a different note I am concerned that the Wilpons are not only going to continue to keep payroll down, but actually cut it this offseason, and they’re likely to do that by trading for prospects the only player who’ll be getting a significant salary and who will be desireable to other teams: Angel Pagan.

Lucas Duda

just punched his fist through a wall somewhere and cursed his dad for making him a lefty instead of a righty.

by David G on Jul 9, 2010 5:36 PM EDT reply actions  

If I was Duda, I'd rather mash the ball at AAA for a couple months

until they might consider a platoon role instead of riding the bench. I guess he’d also have to hope that Pagan or Beltran get hurt for that to happen though.

by FrancoTAU on Jul 9, 2010 5:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

This Nick Evans?

I don’t know about you, but I liked The Horse Whisperer. And he has a newsletter, which kinda negates the counter-terrorism point above.

Jerry Quote via Lennon's twitter:

Igarashi won’t return before end of West Coast trip. Needs to work on secondary pitches. Can’t do “development” in majors, sez Manuel.

And Mejia weeps

by Bieser's Balk on Jul 9, 2010 5:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Sadly, it's all too believeable.

Jerry’s one of those all too common clowns who has no idea how much he does not know.

by Jack Str on Jul 13, 2010 3:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

Apparently after screwing up Mejia Jerry learned his lesson

In the future can we not have Jerry learn his obvious mistakes with our top prospects?

Its like having your kid learn to drive in your Ferrari; it just can’t end well.

And then after he crashes the Ferrari, you buy him a Toyota

by Steve Schreiber on Jul 9, 2010 7:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Jerry doesn't learn. That's the problem with guys

who have no idea what it is that they don’t know.

The quote where he said his teams play better in the second half because it takes him that long to get a sense of how the pieces/players fit together was priceless, in a banging-your-head-against-the-wall kind of way. Because, I guess, looking up Francouer’s platoon splits on BBRef can’t compare in validity to what your gut tells you.

After seeing how many of his moves this year were simply, obviously ludicrous, and all that after managing for nine years, it’s incredible how chronically incompetent Manuel is. It’s beyond belief that he has a job.

The Mejia fiasco was astonishing. After a few games it was obviously a lose-lose proposition, even from Manuel’s pov. He was wrecking the slim chance that Mejia would develop into a useful starter for the stretch run, which might be just what Manuel needs to save his job, even while making certain Mejia wouldn’t pitch in important game situations, thereby absolutely minimizing what small value any middle reliever is going to have. It was as brainless a manuever I’ve seen by a manager this year, even topping the Zambrano to the pen lunacy in Chicago.

LMAO

that’s great.

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
